Tips for Lecurette

1. Stand straight, fold your hands at the back if you are uncomfortable with hand actions(Vishram being the best position)
2. Do not do too much hand actions. You are there for a speech and not a silent mime
3. Speak confidently and do not repeat sentences
4. Start with a quotation or a mind blowing fact.It will add some masala and spice to your speech and give an impression that you are a person of vast knowledge.
5. Support your statement with facts and real life examples if possible
6. Adress to your friends and not to the GTO
7. Maintain eye contact with your friends.Do not look on the sides.
8. If you find it difficult to look into your friend’s eyes then I have a solution
9. Look at your friends forehead instead of looking into their eyes .Isn't it a cool replacement. The others will complement you for your confidence(But you actually you know the truth )
10. End within the time limit and do not extend too much
11. Use voice modulation(Don’t be monotonous)Raise your voice at important points and normal at trivial issues
12. Start with a smile(Believe me this will reduce half your nervousness)
13. Take deep breathes before you start your speech
14. In the 3 minutes you have for preparation, make an outline of what you want to speak
